THE LOYOLA MAROON VOLUME 67, NO. 11 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70118 NOVEMBER 11,1988 Ren wick: Bush win shows shift to right By Mike Moser Staff writer Republican nominee George Bush was elected 41st President of the United States Tuesday, defeating Democrat Michael Dukakis after a campaign that showed less-than-passionate convictions on both sides of the political spectrum. And while many claim the 1988 campaign was the dirtiest and dullest in recent history, three Loyola professors said the campaign was not "dirty," but offered some insights into current American voting trends. "This campaign was not necessarily dirtier than any other going back to the 19th century," Dr. Edward Renwick, political science professor and state pollster for WWL-TV, said. "One person's dirt is another's truth," Dr. Phillip Dynia, political science chairman, said. "It seemed to be effective. It sure helped Bush's victory." Both candidates were criticized for what was considered a negative campaign, but the majority of the criticism fell on Bush for his use of the pledge of allegiance, the Willie Horton furlough, and the issue of Dukakis' membership in the American Civil Liberties Union as campaign ammunition.

Green Day organizers aim to raise awareness By Hank Stuever News Editor Loyola students and faculty are preparing for a flurry of campus and local activity focusing on the reported abuse of Louisiana's coastal and inland waters with a campus-wide "Green Day" on Tuesday. Sponsored by the Loyola University Sociology Students Organization and Greenpeace, an international environmental protection group, Green Day will feature educational programs about pollutants in the Mississippi River and the erosion of Louisiana's coastal wetlands. According to Dr. Anthony Ladd, associate professor of sociology and LUSSO adviser, Green Day will also promote several concurrent events planned next week by Greenpeace and the Sierra Club. "We wanted to plug into the upcoming events and have a vehicle for student involvement," Ladd said. "Environmental protection is a big issue for students of the '80s and '905." Green Day will start Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. in the Audubon Room with a panel of speakers from the Sierra Club, the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, the Delta Greens and Recycle New Orleans, Ladd said. The forum will discuss the increasing Bookstore keeps 'SPINs' with condoms off shelf By Amy Porche Staff writer The November issue of SPIN magazine has been kept off stands at the Loyola University bookstore because it contains a free condom in its centerfold. Bookstore personnel maintain that the decision to not circulate the magazine is in accordance with university standards. The magazine contains a free Trojan condom attached to an advertisement for the brand. According to a statement by SPIN's editors, the condoms were donated by Carter-Wallace Inc., manufacturers of Trojan condoms, in return for a free advertisement. The editorial statement claims that SPIN and Carter- Wallace are offering the condom as a public service, not an advertisement. "SPIN readers are — obviously — young people, and young people tend to be the most sexually active and the least likely to believe themselves vulnerable to a life-threatening disease," SPIN editor Bob Guccione Jr. writes. "Above everything, we are against censorship," Mary Grey Hardwick, bookstore manager, said. "A lot of attention is given to [Loyola's] Mission and Goals Statement," Hardwick said, "This is a guideline that the whole university operates under." "It's not written per se, but we could not carry a book with an actual condom in it for the same reason we wouldn't carry a book on white supremacy," Hardwick said. "If student health services dispensed condoms, we would have put [SPIN ] on the shelves," Hardwick said. "It's not that we are trying to enforce censorship, it's that we are trying to uphold Jesuit ideals in regards to the birth control issue," Glenn Jones, bookstore textbook buyer, said.
